Products & Materials
Geroba primarily works with high-quality outdoor materials such as Corten steel, aluminum, zinc-coated steel, and wood. The materials used depend on the product and the chosen design.
Corten steel is a type of steel that forms a natural rust layer when exposed to the elements. This rust layer gives the product its warm, brown color and further protects the material from the weather.
Please note: Corten steel is often delivered before it has fully rusted. The rusting process takes place outdoors and can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.Yes. During the initial stage of the rusting process, Corten steel may release rust-colored water. We recommend that you do not place Corten steel directly on light-colored natural stone, tiles, or other sensitive surfaces without protection.
Many products are available in RAL colors. Standard colors usually have a shorter lead time. Special RAL colors may incur an additional charge or have a longer lead time.
Yes. Our products are designed for outdoor use. Depending on the material and application, maintenance may be required to preserve their appearance and extend their lifespan.
Yes, all our planters with a bottom come standard with drainage holes, so excess rainwater can drain away properly and the roots don't get waterlogged. If you choose a version without a bottom, you place the planter directly on open ground, so a bottom with drainage holes is not needed.
